The chapter is prefaced with an update on the Howl standings. Rowan and Neil, who lead the top five, have found three clues each.
Though he is skeptical at first, Neil agrees to work with Rowan to take out Savannah and her friends. Neil and Rowan agree to split the prize money regardless of the outcome. They also agree that the loser will write a book report on a book of the winner’s choosing. They continue talking strategy over pizza. Rowan brings up how his snide remarks about her love of romance novels make her feel small, and he apologizes genuinely, sharing that he does not hate romance novels.
The first part of the chapter is a receipt from Upper Crust Pizza.
Rowan and Neil go to a record shop to look for their next clue, which is a Nirvana record. They talk a little bit about music, and Rowan is shocked to discover that they have similar taste. The girl working at the store offers to help them, and Rowan notices that she seems to be flirting with Neil. While they wait for the salesperson to find the record, they take turns sharing songs with one another at the listening station.
